I have at the welcome page a weather portlet, and user can configure the portlet and select his city. Is it possible to store user information in the portlet preferences, so that every user has his one stored city? Or what is the standard workflow to store user-portlet information without to develop own (persist) service? thx The portlet-preferences are in liferay per default not user specific. That can be modified in liferay-portlet.xml with next lines: <liferay-portlet-app> <portlet> <portlet-name>ThePortletWitchUserSpecificPreferences</portlet-name> <icon>/icon.png</icon> <preferences

When you save a project, Sublime Text will create a .sublime-workspace file. In this file, there is an array of buffers, and for each buffer there is a color_scheme property. This is set to whatever color scheme was chosen when the buffers and workspace were created. I recently changed my theme and color scheme in my user settings file. How can I refresh all of my project's workspaces so that way it uses my new color_scheme provided in my user preference file without needed to edit each project's workspace file one-by-one? Expanding on the answer given by Tot you can do this for all views in

I'm setting out to create a settings activity for my app. I've defined a PreferenceActivity with a nice layout including a ListPreference object for the user to select a bluetooth device.

Say I have the following Preferences prefs = Preferences.userRoot().node(this.getClass().getName()); String ID1 = "Test1"; System.out.println(prefs.getBoolean(ID1, true)); prefs.putBoolean(ID1, false); //prefs.remove(ID1); Is this variable persistent the next time I execute my program? Where do these variables store? What is the proper way of utilizing this? Is the approach better than using properties files? Yes, the value is persistent but only for the user. It won't be there for other users. This is OS specific. For Windows it uses the registry, for Linux I believe it uses hidden files in
